Z62.1: Parental overprotection
Parental overprotection, referenced as ICD-10 code Z62.1, pertains to a situation where a parent or caregiver exhibits excessive protection or control over their child. This generally includes constant interference in the child's activities and decisions, resulting in limited independence and self-confidence of the child. It does not provide the chance for the child to learn from experiences and constructively handle challenges, expressions of feelings, and social interactions. This condition can potentially lead to stress, anxiety, and emotional instability in the child, thereby affecting their mental and emotional growth. It's essential to note that parental overprotection is not a medical condition presented by the child, rather it is a behavior exhibited by the parent or caregiver that can potentially affect the child's psychological development.
